The efficacy of cinacalcet in the treatment of hyperparathyroidism in Turkish hemodialysis patient population

WOS: 000393291900012OBJECTIVE: Cinacalcet reduces parathyroid hormone levels by increasing the sensitivity of the parathyroid gland to calcium. in this study, we firstly aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cinacalcet in Turkish hemodialysis patients. MATERIAL and METHODS: 4483 hemodialysis patients were screened and 469 patients who had used cinacalcet were included in the study. the patients were divided into 4 groups according to drug usage durations (Group 1: 3 months, Group 2: 6 months, Group 3: 9 months and Group 4: 12 months). the patients' Parathormone, Ca, P and CaxP levels at the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months were compared to the start of treatment and previous months. RESULTS: the levels of Parathormone, Ca, P and CaxP significantly decreased compared to their initial levels in all groups (from 1412 pg/ml to 1222 pg/mL for Parathormone, p< 0,001) in the 3rd month. However, this reduction was not continued in the subsequent months (Parathormone: 1381 pg/ml for the 12th month). CONCLUSION: Cinacalcet may not provide adequate benefit in control of hyperparathyroidism in Turkish hemodialysis patient population

The study of instruction of photosynthesis subject by constructivist approach

Bu araştırmanın amacı, yapılandırmacı yaklaşıma dayalı fen öğretiminin ve geleneksel öğretim yöntemine dayalı fen öğretiminin, fen bilgisi öğretmen adayları (3.sınıf) üzerinde başarıya olan etkisini karşılaştırmaktır Araştırmanın örneklemi, Gazi Üniversitesi Gazi Eğitim Fakültesi Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalı’nda öğrenim gören ve Fen Bilgisi Laboratuarı II dersini alan 80 kişiden oluşmuş üçüncü sınıf öğrencileridir. Fotosentez konusu 2002-2003 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde 4 hafta süreyle iki sınıftan birinde (Kontrol Grubu) geleneksel öğretim metoduna diğerinde (Deney Grubu) yapılandırıcı yaklaşıma göre işlendi. Araştırmada ön test-son test gruplu deney deseni kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, yapılandırıcı kuram doğrultusunda eğitim gören öğrencilerinin başarılarının, geleneksel metotla eğitim gören öğrencilerin başarılarından daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir.The aim of this research is to compare the effect of science teaching based on constructivist approach and based on traditional approach on achievements of science teacher candidates (3. grade). The subject of research consist of 80, 3. grade students who have studied at Science Education Department of Gazi Education Faculty in Gazi University and also have taken Science Laboratory II subject. Photosynthesis subject have been studied in one of the two classes (Control Group) according to traditional teaching method and in the other (Experimental Group) according to constructivist approach in 2002-2003 spring term of educational year during 4 weeks. Experimental design with pre test- post test has been used in the research. Analyze results have shown that the achievements of students who were educated by constructivist theory are higher than the achievements of students who were educated by traditional method

The effect of cooperative learning method to the academic achievement in science and technology lesson

Araştırma, İşbirlikli Öğrenme yönteminin Fen ve Teknoloji dersinde öğrencilerin son test başarısına etkisini sınamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ön test-son test kontrol gruplu deneme modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmada başarı testi kullanılmıştır. Deneysel uygulama deney grubunda 6. sınıf Fen ve Teknoloji dersinde altı hafta boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İşbirlikli Öğrenme yönteminin uygulandığı deney grubunun (X=24, p?.002), geleneksel Fen ve Teknoloji dersinin uygulandığı kontrol grubuna göre (X=20,75) akademik başarı açısından daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.The research has been executed in order to examine the effect of cooperative learning method on the post-test achievements of students in Science and Technology class. The research has been designed in test model with pre-test and post-test control groups. In the research, achievement test has been used. Experimental practice has been executed in experimental group at 6th grade Science and Technology class during six weeks. As a result, it is determined that experimental group; in which Cooperative Learning method was applied (X=24, p&amp;#8804;.002), is more effective than control group; in which traditional Science and Technology lesson was applied (X=20,75), with regard to academicals achievement
